Short Tempo run today on my first taper week. Last year I ran this same run in 6:42 avg. pace. This time was a little faster at 6:39. This wasn't all out race effort but I had to push a little. It doesn't seem like it's too tough but the second two miles both have long gradual uphills that seem to really slow me down.
Rest or light cross-train tomorrow and a 10-13 mile run at marathon pace on Saturday will pretty much do it for anything tough. Now I start hoping for good weather! Right now it says its going to be 34 degrees the morning of the race and mostly cloudy.

He answered them, âWhen it is evening, you say, âIt will be fair weather, for the sky is red.â And in the morning, âIt will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.â You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. |
